1949 MG TC
Classic 1949 MG TC two-door convertible finished in Black. Rear-wheel drive, powered by the correct 1250cc XPAG four-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Odometer indicating 426 kilometres, reflecting mileage since restoration. Seating for two. Chassis TC/9112, engine XPAG/9831. Located in Beverley, SA.
Description / Overview:
The MG TC is not a car that needs an introduction. Built between 1945 and 1949, it was the model that introduced lightweight British sports car motoring to the world, particularly to returning American servicemen who had encountered them in Europe. TC/9112 is one of around 10,000 produced, and it wears its age well. The black paint over a green leather interior is a personal choice by a previous owner, but it works, and the car presents as a coherent and attractive package rather than a mixed-message project.
The vendor advises the car was restored by a previous owner who was an active MG club member, and that assessment is broadly supported by the photos. The green leather retrim is cohesive and well-executed, the factory identification plates are all present and legible, and the exterior bodywork shows no rust, dents, or collision damage. The XPAG engine bay is honest rather than detailed, twin SU carburettors are present and correct, and the car has been fitted with aftermarket amber turn indicators for road legality. This is a driver-quality example of a highly collectible car, not a concours show piece, and that distinction should inform both the reserve and the marketing.
One correction needs to go in before close: the listing states the engine number is unsighted, but the firewall plate clearly shows XPAG/9831. That detail matters to buyers and to value. Fix it.
